Here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Twin Falls, we believe the dangers of winter weather should never be underestimated when ice and snow cause problems. One of the recommendations we have for local residents is to construct a winter emergency kit to be carried whenever driving.
The question we are commonly asked is what material(s) should be carried to aid in developing traction when stranded by snow and ice. Like most people in Twin Falls, ID, we are concerned about the environmental damage being caused by large amounts of salt and sand used to clear roadways and driveways each winter. We actually recommend using cat litter when stranded in your driveway in freezing conditions.
The corrosive effects of salt and sand are not seen with cat litter, which absorbs moisture and allows the tires of a vehicle to find traction. Find out more about the use of kitty litter for traction by calling our showroom for winter driving tips.
